That means that income taxes paid by the average taxpayer would not even cover the cost of one second of this war. This country is already facing difficult economic times. We cannot afford to continue spending $339 million a day on a war that has no strategy for victory. If we invested one day of this sum in America instead. we could give 2.6 million American children access to medical and dental care. or we could hire more than 2.000 more border patrol agents to protect our borders. And we could send 18.000 more students to college. Madam Speaker. at a time when Americans are getting squeezed at the 54.
